Kanye's selfless deed could have gone completely unnoticed had an acquaintance of the girl's family not tweeted: "This girl in my town had cancer and Kanye called her a couple days ago to rap for her. I think Kim was there too."

The tweet went on to read that the young fan had later died.

"She passed yesterday. I have so much respect for him tho. Making her happy in her last moments."

Kim later appeared to confirm the event by later commenting on the tweet to say that they were 'praying for her family.'
